Hi,

I think there's a couple of manual/documentation errors for M4 version 1.4.17-4, as follows:


1 ----------------------------
Go to:  https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/m4.html#Changequote

  manual reads:

    Builtin: changequote ([start = ‘`’]

  manual should be:

    Builtin: changequote ([start = ‘`’])
    or
    Builtin: changequote ([start = ‘`’],[end = ‘`’])

   
  See also: http://mbreen.com/m4.html#toc2
    (Search for "Quotes, escaping and non-ASCII characters")

  Notes:

It appears from the reference I cite above as both start and end need to be supplied for changequote, however I'm not sure of this.  It might be that only a start is ok, without an end.


2 ----------------------
Similarity, Go to:  https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/m4.html#Changecom

  manual reads:

    Builtin: changecom ([start]

  manual should be:

    Builtin: changecom ([start])
    or
    Builtin: changecom ([start],[end])




Thanks!
